Paypal accounts get limited

[ohocomer]

im facing some problems creating new ebay and paypal accounts. once i create a new ebay, attach a new paypal to it and list an item (~60 GBP), after the first transaction i am asked for documents.

i did provide all docs, called to paypal and asked to check the docs because they didnt confirm them in more than a week. day later i got an email telling that my account is blocked. then i called them and the answer was that the account was too suspicious...

Probably a whole list of reasons, why don't you tell us your process of making accounts, also could be the 60 GBP item your listing.

List something discreet, like a cheap secondhand book

I wouldn't call them. That would just add to the 'suspicion'.

In future sell cheap item around £10 in value, and let the process run its course when you submit the docs.

Thanks. So you suggest to create paypal, atatch to new ebay, send documents and wait untill account is verified? and then lsit some cheap items?

I assume you are British despite flag. You don't need ID verified to sell on Ebay, although you might like to. You would want to verify the Paypal though

How do you create your accounts?

Something is defintely up as that is not normal.

I think it's just a case of following stealth rules, get some buying/searching history, watch a few items, sell something cheap and innocuous, don't use stock photos, etc. It happens to us all

So you think everything is fine? After how many days I should list something for sale?

[bjammin]

One thing to reiterate is: do not use stock photos. US eBay has been quick to restrict/suspend accounts for stock photos. I am sure other counties are like this too!

Thanks for informing. So if I take the screenshot and cut the edges that should be fine? I will look more about this.
